Wasn't even 20 minutes left to finish the game, but to see the other endings, I should've saved after the Battle Chess. I then lost once to waste some more minutes, but then I could swiftly witness the other two finales, short twists, but fitting as a sequel to an also great game. Pretty flawless this one, not too hard not too easy, does a good job leading you through the puzzle locations.

Mastered before. Just some playing around again to refresh the experience for a review.

It come down to what I quickly thought: It's not anything like a game, it's of course even called a visual novel, but with so few options to interact, putting it on a DVD would work better. As non-japanese speaker, you're occupied with reading, but I believe the very pragmatic visual ellipsis would become boring if actually listened to the dialogue. So it should either be animated better or offer more interaction. If you can live with it being none of that it's actually developing it's stereotype characters to a heartwarming story of getting rid of your inner demons while staying true to your quirky attributes, becoming a self-confident part of a working social structure to make life better than being isolated.

Though it took me more than double the time of the first one to complete, it didn't really feel like more gameplay, blown up with cutscenes and voice acting. That's fine, especially as Creepy Tale 2 kind of explains the world a bit more, but other than that, the puzzles are mostly trial and error, frustration to a learning curve. Switch version omits achievements, I couldn't care less though. Don't know if it's really worth its asking price, but it's a decent addition to the first one.

Just played around with the demo. Not entirely uninteresting, but I wasn't immediately hooked either. Maybe too much of managing a life whilst I want to escape exactly that.

Done it. Wasn't too surprised, expected an ending in that fashion. The many puzzles on the way we're a blast though a lot of people will hate.

Just a short test run

Tried wrecking anything but couldn't master 100%, wasted time with that
